Kaycee Teppo Try being a 16 year old girl, living off of legit 150$ every other fucking week because she’s the only one with a job in her family, who has a RIDICULOUSLY heavy 7-9 day flow and then tell me that they’re not fucking expensive. Just because the price+ tax was never an issue for you, doesn’t mean it was never an issue for someone else. Things that seem inexpensive for you, can be extremely fucking expensive for someone else.
They are expensive when you add up all you spent over your life of having your period. lets say about $8 for two moths, 12 months in a year so that's $48. If you started your period at age 12 and ended it at age 45 that's more than $1630 for something that you cant control (and that's just women only using mabey 2 pads or tampons a day, not including heavier days or cycles so for some it can end up being more than that)
Yeah I get that im a female i have periods but the thing is its like saying "We dont give men enough credit they make babies so why dont we have condoms free" like the worlds not fair theres nothing i dont think we dont pay for 😐
i never realised how expensive they are in america, i pay £2.35 for a pack of tampons which is (according to google) $3.33, moment of silence to all the bleeders in america.
Yes if only it was really cheap or free because we literally can't do anything about the fact that we have periods and I don't understand why we have to spend so much money on shit that we literally can't control due to the fact that it is a natural thing that happens to all women.

Danielle I understand the sentiment with this, and think they should be made available to those in need, however, we need food to survive yet still have to pay for that...
That's what I was about to comment. They're definitely not a "luxury item" and should't be taxed but there's no reason they should be free. We pay for our food, our clothes, and have a water bill. All things we need but still pay for.
Most insensitive comment I've ever seen. The monthly time is something only women need, if we didn't have them we would bleed all over the place, okay?!
I can tell there are gonna cost more because they are harder to insert and there is a leaf on the package - Kristin I am gonna go with $12. *Devin gives sly look* $12.01 *Price is $11.49* Well you should, have guess $11.99 I loved Devin and Kristin in this
AliHali97 oh it's okay :) well it's gonna get graphic but basically you put the tip of your finger at the base of it and push it in as far as you can (I can't really describe it any better, but maybe you'll be relived to know that I can't use the ones with an applicator lol)
Mother Nature wants us to breed, so she punishes us when we don't. That shit ain't a congratulatory message, it's a nagging parent wanting grandkids. @Isabelle- Lol, I once went about 7 months without bleeding at all. I was severely depressed at the time, and that's what did it, but honestly I straight up forgot that periods were a thing for that time. You're gonna be hating yourself when it comes back. Readjusting after just not worrying about it for that long period of time is gonna suck.
I used to only wear pads but moved to a Diva Cup about 3 years ago. But, that being said, why do people rip on pads so much! I loved pads! Tampons freaked me out and I did try them a few times but just felt uncomfortable wearing them. Just because you wear pads doesn't mean your old or behind in the times. It's just always confused me why people give them so much shit. Obviously all us ladies got to use something for protection and if some of us choose to wear pads they must be working!
Alicia for me, pads always made me feel gross, dirty and like I was wearing a diaper. I would have to spend 10-20 minutes cleaning up after each pad (which was about every 2-3 hours). It made me so uncomfortable I would only do it if I had no other option, and when I did I would usually leak because my flow is so strong my pad couldn't cover everything. I have friends who use pads, and it works for them just not for me. I also use a cup now and I love it! Personally, pads always felt really limiting, because I always felt unclean and was always uncomfortably reminded that I had a period. With my cup though I can't feel anything and I feel more normal on my period. I really really hate pads.
Well if you're a virgin it's not exactly safe and painless to shove a tampon or a diva cup up your vajayjay :D I use only pads and if you are careful and choose the ones that work best for you, there's no problem
These things should be free, or at least cheaper. I can't bear to think about all the homeless women. What are they gonna do? Probably choose between if they want to be clean and safe or have food
I've never understood this mentality so are the companies a charity now or is the government paying for it which means we're paying for it anyhow? Also in almost all first world countries it's quite possible to survive not on the street without having a job homless people tend to have mental illnesses, drug problems or something else
+Samanta Gould Was the question directed at me? You didn't specify, but I will assume it was. The state would pay, not private companies. The way it works in my country is that you get paid a set amount regularly, that you are supposed to live of. The person then buys what he needs himself. The state does use tax money to fund this, but also income from State owned companies. Approximately 40% of all jobs in Norway are in the state-owned sector. But the state also regulates private companies, which ensures that drug companies can't overcharge for medicine, food/water/electricity companies are not allowed to cooperate to push prices up etc., which makes it possible for people of limited means to afford all the life neccesities. The US which frowns upon regulations have less restrictions on private companies, which makes for example medicine much more expensive. So the regulation on the private sector definitely helps social democracy run smoother. People who live on the street are primarily people unable to spend the money given to them on life-neccesities, but spend it on drugs/alcohol because they have an addiction. The state and charitable organizations tend to cooperate to give this group the best possible care. Primarily by granting the organizations who are good at this kind of work the neccesary funds. Hope that answers your question :)
In Australia there is a charity called Share The Dignity which distributes donated menstrual products to shelters for homeless, dv victims, etc. They do good work.
I have a question. I think a lot of you girls will agree. Why do we girls have to pay for period products? We did not wake up one day and said " Hey! I have an idea! Let's bleed from our vaginas and wrench in pain!" We didn't chose to have periods it's just natural. So we have to pay for stuff we can't control. I honesty think period products should be free.
annalisse johns I agree to some extent. Period products should be free in public places, for example, Schools. It can come upon us at school time and we aren't prepared at all. Products sold in stores should definitely be cheaper tho. €7 for pads ( I use pads xD) is too much to pay. Especially when some woman/girls can go through a whole packet and possibly even more per month, not adding on underwear and painkillers. They can't be free because the manufacturers need the money to make them. ♡
But that wouldn't work. Its either you pay for the comfort of not being dirty or you be dirty. There isn't a period tax. You DO NOT get taxed for simply having a period! Most people CHOICE to be comfortable and use these products to keep clean. You can simply not use these products, no one is forcing you. A choice should never be free and period products are products of cleanliness......not periods.
Ashley ASHLEYM When you say “no one is forcing you” do you think of all of the women who have to go through life with a period and act completely normal for the rest of the world. Yes, period products are not necessary for life. We won’t die without them but they are necessary for living. We wouldn’t be able to do anything without them. Nobody is forcing us to use the products that were made for this exact reason but its stupidity if we don’t.
Ashley ASHLEYM Also there is a period tax. It has many names. Pink tax Hygiene tax Period tax Its just the basic luxury tax that’s put on all “luxury goods”
Period products should be kept at the most minimum cost possible for all the women out there. Or at least, government's shouldn't tax period companies.
There are minimal cost ones and expensive ones. I've been buying generic since I reached adulthood because I can deal with momentary discomfort. Also, buying a box of 40 or 50 tampons is way cheaper per tampon than a box of 15-20. I don't consider 15-20 cents per tampon to really be all that bad.
Camilla Ceuterick Damn that sucks. And here I thought I made a smart comment -.- If only they would cut the tax, AND the companies would lower the prices... But that's just wishful thinking :(
In the U.S. you pay sales tax at the register. So really if you just stopped charging taxes on the sale period products (rather than the company itself which should be taxed tbh) they would stay the same price only without the added change. After a while though, I'm sure prices would slowly increase just not to the same price they once were.
I agree with many people they could never be free for manufacturing purposes but god damn they do need to be cheaper I have a very heavy flow and go through over nights on a daily basis and it's ridiculous how they're being charged as a luxury one of my close friends had to be sent to the hospital in school from losing consciousness in the middle of class from blood loss. For everyone mocking us saying oh if y all shouldn't have to pay for pads and tampons we shouldn't have to pay for food and water, that's the point food and water are necessities and are not charged as a luxury becuase we need it women need these "luxury items" to keep ourselves and everything around us clean and safe from disease for crying out loud so sorry that we pay for overpriced necessities to prevent us from bleeding everywhere
I mean, I’m from Canada with free health care and always felt we should get it free as a health care item. It can be free if the government pays for it by either lining their pockets a little less (like literal pocket change) or by using taxes (would also be a very small amount)
@@berlinwall6674 there are menstrual cups that are much cheaper than the diva cup. Before using the cup i was using pads that where 4€/10 pads, and i spent 10€ for my cup, basically i spent less in 2 menstrual cycle with the cup than with the pads 😅
sorsaria I use pads too because I'm allergic to some product that tampons and some pads have so I have tried so many things and only one brand works better for me 😒
for me, i feel so insecure. when i am just staying at home, learning, than it's ok. but going in public, i just don't feel right. but i do have these slim "pantyliner" in my pants too. when i am on my period.
The actual amount of blood you lose is less than a half a cup......but you also lose the endometrium, or lining of your uterus. It is NOT blood....but it is red. None the less, it is still a tiny amount of actual blood.
Totally unrelated to the video but once in history class we were learning about how in some developing countries, most women miss school, for *some* reason. Me and my best friend Sammy looked at each other (*its funny because we synced up our periods together*) and were like *Poor Mensurating Humans*
Whenever I used to see pad adds when i was younger I would be like: “WhY aRe ThErE aDdS fOr NaPpIeS” or “wHy ArE tHoSe GiRlS wEaRiNg NaPpIeS” (I thought they were nappies for women) 😂😂😂🤦♀️
Rafah Rameez since your i’s we’re in capital, it thought you were saying napples and i was just about to comment, what the heck are napples.😂 but then i saw you wrote nappies and it makes much more sense now. Even though I call them diapers
I wouldn't exactly say 'proud' but it's certainly not something to be ashamed of! some girls/women who prefer tampons shame those who use pads, saying they're gross, for older women etc.
I'd never shame anyone for using whatever makes them the most comfortable and secure. I use both, and the occasional soft cup. They're all useful tools to be able to go about life.
LovesLifeandLaughs Well I'm saying I'm proud because I'm far from ashamed, I love using pads. There should be no reason to be ashamed yet people say pads are nasty, but Tampons are just as nasty in my opinion. lol
Dani Fu A lot of tampons in the U.S. have applicators that you press down to put it in you, the plastic ones can also be more comfortable to insert. They aren't just the cotton part.
I love how the video ended with “women should get credit for not putting blood everywhere every month!” Indeed, and that’s one thing to feel better about when I’m on my period. I know every woman who has periods had blood stain and blood everywhere situation, but I think we women do a great job of cleaning after it. You have no idea how many clothing I saved from almost ending up in trash because of period blood..
Everthing is so expensive, here in Germany you pay 4,96$ for 50 tampons, that is nothing. For good pads kinda 3,72$ they safe your life or for an menstrual cup 18,61$
For most of these things, around the 3 dollar price range would be ideal. Also, woah, I...still use pads....exclusively....does anybody else? No? Just me? Okay...
LOVE Devin and Kristen together - wonderful pairing - you compliment and bounce off each other so well - and I realise now I haven't really seen you two paired up together like this apart from the last two videos ! Xxxx
Why is nobody mentioning on how when you sit while wearing a pad you have to sit in your own blood. Also I'm glad no stuck up guys have ruin the comments yet
People dont bleed that much at a time and you are supposed to change them. They are extremely absorbent so you dont feel anything. With tampons your sitting with blood clogged inside of you. It's just a preference
@@reagankelchner its true, personally I don't like pads but I'm fine tampons. Everybody is different so we are all going to have different opinions and preferences.
first of all you're supposed to change them and they absorb the blood, i dont understand how people feel uncomfortable when sometimes i literally get so comfortable i forget im on my period. I'll stick to this instead of sticking something up my vagina, but i guess some people really just hate pads
That hardly makes sense. Do you also worry about having poop or urine on your hands after washing them? The obvious solution is to wash your hands better.

janelle s actually thinking about that makes me cringe ewwww I'd rather blood than my vag just blob out chunks of fat and that would be really un comfy don't say it would be funny tho because u might as well have it be blood then ... Btw
Awkward Nobody.. you do realise there are people without periods alive today? And I don't mean people that are post-menopause. I mean literal young females that just don't get their period for one medical reason or another.
Interesting idea, but most likely not the best way. People who do this would come off as ridiculous or disgusting, and in a way that is true. Not only that people would be leaving bloody stains where ever they go (which I personally wouldn't mind that much), it's simply unhygienic. Period blood isn't just blood, it carries bacteria and other pathogens that could spread diseases that spread through bodily fluids, and for that I would most certainly mind. I support their intentions; for periods to be normalized and not a taboo subject, but there is a line when it comes to hygiene. Also, some people are just afraid of or revolted by blood in general, not just period blood. I would strive for period products to be made a necessity or at least cheaper, but this...is a bit much. I would understand if you actually didn't have the money, but of you do, you can just buy a reusable pad/tampon/menstrual cup.
@Nova, I disagree that period products should be free. Things like food aren't free, and everyone, not just women need it. Will food become free now? Plus, nothing is really free. You'd just pay higher taxes.
If it hasn't already been done, you guys should test reusable period products like the diva cup and reusable pads. A lot of people I know are transitioning to those products and are really happy with them!
Eh, I tried the disposable ones... and I had to call my boyfriend in to help out with it every time. It was comfortable, but within hours I was leaking anyway, not to mention the fact that I don't want my boyfriend to have to feel like an OBGYN every day of my period.
Nickolah Lyn The disposable ones are much different from the reusable ones. I suggest you try one. i have no trouble removing itmyself, and have had no leaks.
most animal's uterus lining is thinner than that of humans, it takes a lot of energy for a human to reabsorb it and reuse compared to most other animals
Michaela Heil Companies may say it's it's okay to use these scented wipes, but your GYn will tell you to never use them. Any kind of added purfumes cause me to get a yeast infection.
@@khadeejasiddique961 yes Scotland have made all pads and tampons free for girls and women. I'm not in Scotland but I pay about £1.75- £2.50 for a box of 16 tampons.
It should be free WHY DO WE NEED TO PAY FOR STUFF WE CANT HELP I use the last one and it actually works I never leak with them and it does go pretty mush on the middle no lie it's worth it
Americans and their applicators, I'll never understand. It really isn't difficult to insert a tampon. Also, the cotton ones eliminate the risk of TSS, so I'd use those, except I don't think I've ever seen 100% cotton ones where I live.
meikusje I'd be more worried using an applicator because I would just shove it in rather than feeling where it's going. Plus the guilt over all that plastic waste.
At my school, they have free pads/tampons in the bathrooms, but the female teachers supply it so it's kinda free but not so maybe like they all pitch in to provide them or they have a sponsor from a company.
I wanted to cry when they said they just snag them from the bathroom and take a handful for themselves...! I wanted to bring up the "maybe provide tampons for the females in their bathroom?" discussion pretty often. Mainly in our favourite local pub. And the only argument they have against it is "No, we cant, people will steal them and they are to expensive". And im always like "Naah, people wont steal them, they will be happy they have free tampons on the toilet!". And now i'm sitting here, depressed that even women who are for free tampons everywhere apparently steal them. Thus preventing us women here to get free tampons at bathrooms... Its a shame they really are so selfish. :(
Saptz we didn't all chose to be discriminated and have to suffer the pain of your uterus squeezing blood out of your vagina! Why should we pay for the essential objects when the world would go to shit of girls decided to just pick up and leave!!!

Danielle I understand the sentiment with this, and think they should be made available to those in need, however, we need food to survive yet still have to pay for that...
That's what I was about to comment. They're definitely not a "luxury item" and should't be taxed but there's no reason they should be free. We pay for our food, our clothes, and have a water bill. All things we need but still pay for.
amkurthy but are period products needed for survival? I think they should be free or it should be normal to bled everywhere
Most insensitive comment I've ever seen. The monthly time is something only women need, if we didn't have them we would bleed all over the place, okay?!
I can tell there are gonna cost more because they are harder to insert and there is a leaf on the package
- Kristin
I am gonna go with $12.
*Devin gives sly look* $12.01
*Price is $11.49*
Well you should, have guess $11.99
I loved Devin and Kristin in this
in Germany tampons without plastic applicators are the norm... there are ones with applicators but you rarely find them.
Same in Poland. I laughed when they were so weirded out by it.
Sabrina Kroll same in Slovenia, they're not hard to use if you're used to them... it's just long nails problems.
How do you actually use them tho? (sorry for being an ignorant English gal, ive only tried to use these once and it was just a messy messy situation)
Sabrina Kroll You grab the End, stick it a bit in, and then just put your finger at the end to push them in. Sorry if i explained it wrong
AliHali97 oh it's okay :) well it's gonna get graphic but basically you put the tip of your finger at the base of it and push it in as far as you can (I can't really describe it any better, but maybe you'll be relived to know that I can't use the ones with an applicator lol)
I wish Mother Nature could just give us a call and be like, "you're not pregnant, congrats!" Instead of bleeding through my pants..
Kaitlynn Grace That would be amazing!!
Kaitlynn Grace It's amazing lol 😂 I haven't bled in three months it's great
Isabelle Miller get yourself checked . it is not healthy
Isabelle Miller wooww that is not good...
Mother Nature wants us to breed, so she punishes us when we don't. That shit ain't a congratulatory message, it's a nagging parent wanting grandkids.
@Isabelle- Lol, I once went about 7 months without bleeding at all. I was severely depressed at the time, and that's what did it, but honestly I straight up forgot that periods were a thing for that time. You're gonna be hating yourself when it comes back. Readjusting after just not worrying about it for that long period of time is gonna suck.
I used to only wear pads but moved to a Diva Cup about 3 years ago. But, that being said, why do people rip on pads so much! I loved pads! Tampons freaked me out and I did try them a few times but just felt uncomfortable wearing them. Just because you wear pads doesn't mean your old or behind in the times. It's just always confused me why people give them so much shit. Obviously all us ladies got to use something for protection and if some of us choose to wear pads they must be working!
Alicia for me, pads always made me feel gross, dirty and like I was wearing a diaper. I would have to spend 10-20 minutes cleaning up after each pad (which was about every 2-3 hours). It made me so uncomfortable I would only do it if I had no other option, and when I did I would usually leak because my flow is so strong my pad couldn't cover everything. I have friends who use pads, and it works for them just not for me.
I also use a cup now and I love it! Personally, pads always felt really limiting, because I always felt unclean and was always uncomfortably reminded that I had a period. With my cup though I can't feel anything and I feel more normal on my period. I really really hate pads.
The spot tampons are actually comfortable and they don't hurt
Alicia I hate pads 😩 sitting on your own blood no thanks I started using tampons at 11 and have done so for the past 5 years
Ellie Reeves
now that you mention sitting on the blood...... I feel Disgusted..... and Im only 13 😶
Well if you're a virgin it's not exactly safe and painless to shove a tampon or a diva cup up your vajayjay :D I use only pads and if you are careful and choose the ones that work best for you, there's no problem
I wonder if the kardashians pads are made out of 24k gold 🤔
So absorbent lol
Yeah
well duh! 😂
They prolly use tampons
Aliyah Villamar r/whoosh
These things should be free, or at least cheaper. I can't bear to think about all the homeless women. What are they gonna do? Probably choose between if they want to be clean and safe or have food
They can get them free. There are a lot of free resources for the homeless.
+Wendy Neverland In social democracies, homeless women (and men) are provided for by the state, assuming they are willing to accept help.
I've never understood this mentality so are the companies a charity now or is the government paying for it which means we're paying for it anyhow? Also in almost all first world countries it's quite possible to survive not on the street without having a job homless people tend to have mental illnesses, drug problems or something else
+Samanta Gould Was the question directed at me? You didn't specify, but I will assume it was.
The state would pay, not private companies. The way it works in my country is that you get paid a set amount regularly, that you are supposed to live of. The person then buys what he needs himself.
The state does use tax money to fund this, but also income from State owned companies. Approximately 40% of all jobs in Norway are in the state-owned sector. But the state also regulates private companies, which ensures that drug companies can't overcharge for medicine, food/water/electricity companies are not allowed to cooperate to push prices up etc., which makes it possible for people of limited means to afford all the life neccesities. The US which frowns upon regulations have less restrictions on private companies, which makes for example medicine much more expensive. So the regulation on the private sector definitely helps social democracy run smoother.
People who live on the street are primarily people unable to spend the money given to them on life-neccesities, but spend it on drugs/alcohol because they have an addiction. The state and charitable organizations tend to cooperate to give this group the best possible care. Primarily by granting the organizations who are good at this kind of work the neccesary funds.
Hope that answers your question :)
In Australia there is a charity called Share The Dignity which distributes donated menstrual products to shelters for homeless, dv victims, etc. They do good work.
"Moment of silence for the amount of blood we clean up" hahah lmao! I feel you girl😂💗
literally i die when i see it on the bed like oh schnitzel time to whip out the cleaning supplies
I have a question. I think a lot of you girls will agree. Why do we girls have to pay for period products? We did not wake up one day and said " Hey! I have an idea! Let's bleed from our vaginas and wrench in pain!" We didn't chose to have periods it's just natural. So we have to pay for stuff we can't control. I honesty think period products should be free.
annalisse johns I agree to some extent.
Period products should be free in public places, for example, Schools. It can come upon us at school time and we aren't prepared at all.
Products sold in stores should definitely be cheaper tho. €7 for pads ( I use pads xD) is too much to pay. Especially when some woman/girls can go through a whole packet and possibly even more per month, not adding on underwear and painkillers.
They can't be free because the manufacturers need the money to make them.
♡
But that wouldn't work. Its either you pay for the comfort of not being dirty or you be dirty. There isn't a period tax. You DO NOT get taxed for simply having a period! Most people CHOICE to be comfortable and use these products to keep clean. You can simply not use these products, no one is forcing you. A choice should never be free and period products are products of cleanliness......not periods.
No one HAS to use condoms but people still give them away for free.
Ashley ASHLEYM When you say “no one is forcing you” do you think of all of the women who have to go through life with a period and act completely normal for the rest of the world. Yes, period products are not necessary for life. We won’t die without them but they are necessary for living. We wouldn’t be able to do anything without them. Nobody is forcing us to use the products that were made for this exact reason but its stupidity if we don’t.
Ashley ASHLEYM Also there is a period tax. It has many names.
Pink tax
Hygiene tax
Period tax
Its just the basic luxury tax that’s put on all “luxury goods”
Period stuff should be free like it's not my fault I'm a girl

Period products should be kept at the most minimum cost possible for all the women out there. Or at least, government's shouldn't tax period companies.
There are minimal cost ones and expensive ones. I've been buying generic since I reached adulthood because I can deal with momentary discomfort. Also, buying a box of 40 or 50 tampons is way cheaper per tampon than a box of 15-20. I don't consider 15-20 cents per tampon to really be all that bad.
Maybe for tampons, but pads cost minimum $5 here in Australia, for a pack of 8 (long sized). And if you want a more comfortable brand, well, sucks.
Camilla Ceuterick Damn that sucks. And here I thought I made a smart comment -.-
If only they would cut the tax, AND the companies would lower the prices... But that's just wishful thinking :(
Or make them tax deductible.
In the U.S. you pay sales tax at the register. So really if you just stopped charging taxes on the sale period products (rather than the company itself which should be taxed tbh) they would stay the same price only without the added change. After a while though, I'm sure prices would slowly increase just not to the same price they once were.
I agree with many people they could never be free for manufacturing purposes but god damn they do need to be cheaper I have a very heavy flow and go through over nights on a daily basis and it's ridiculous how they're being charged as a luxury one of my close friends had to be sent to the hospital in school from losing consciousness in the middle of class from blood loss. For everyone mocking us saying oh if y all shouldn't have to pay for pads and tampons we shouldn't have to pay for food and water, that's the point food and water are necessities and are not charged as a luxury becuase we need it women need these "luxury items" to keep ourselves and everything around us clean and safe from disease for crying out loud so sorry that we pay for overpriced necessities to prevent us from bleeding everywhere
Brooke Rowe hope your friend is ok...Damm I dident know that could happen.
I mean, I’m from Canada with free health care and always felt we should get it free as a health care item. It can be free if the government pays for it by either lining their pockets a little less (like literal pocket change) or by using taxes (would also be a very small amount)
I had a similar experience. I didn't go to the hospital but, I did almost faint because of the pain and heavy bloodflow
Brooke Rowe r
I didnt even need to read all of thay to completily agree with u
Diva Cup or any period cup is a great investment.
I want one but I'm still living with my parents and don't want to ask for it. I'll wait until I have my own job and credit card to buy one
@@berlinwall6674 there are menstrual cups that are much cheaper than the diva cup.
Before using the cup i was using pads that where 4€/10 pads, and i spent 10€ for my cup, basically i spent less in 2 menstrual cycle with the cup than with the pads 😅
Depends
kaitie648 I have one and I had to get it removed in the hospital so no
How do you clean it?
i know pads get so much hate, but honestly, i find them so much more comfortable than tampons
I'm with you on that, tampons do nothing for me at all.
sorsaria I use pads too because I'm allergic to some product that tampons and some pads have so I have tried so many things and only one brand works better for me 😒
sorsaria especially cloth. Once I went for cloth pads I stopped seeing the need for anything else.
for me, i feel so insecure. when i am just staying at home, learning, than it's ok. but going in public, i just don't feel right. but i do have these slim "pantyliner" in my pants too. when i am on my period.
kotex ultra thin overnight with wings (black and purple packaging) are the BEST ONES EVER!

ITS PAIGE you bleed 1 cup.
*If you don’t reply army I’ll kill you* I believe it’s only a couple ounces, but if feels like cups 😂
The actual amount of blood you lose is less than a half a cup......but you also lose the endometrium, or lining of your uterus. It is NOT blood....but it is red. None the less, it is still a tiny amount of actual blood.
You only look like 16 teaspoons of blood 🤷🏻♀️
Indy Daugherty it’s different for everyone 😂
Totally unrelated to the video but once in history class we were learning about how in some developing countries, most women miss school, for *some* reason. Me and my best friend Sammy looked at each other (*its funny because we synced up our periods together*) and were like *Poor Mensurating Humans*
Katelyn Minton
Good story. 10/10 would read again.
They miss school because they can't afford pads,tampons or whatever necessities for the week
Whenever I used to see pad adds when i was younger I would be like:

Proud pad user, anyone else?
I wouldn't exactly say 'proud' but it's certainly not something to be ashamed of! some girls/women who prefer tampons shame those who use pads, saying they're gross, for older women etc.
I'd never shame anyone for using whatever makes them the most comfortable and secure. I use both, and the occasional soft cup. They're all useful tools to be able to go about life.
Yes
LovesLifeandLaughs Well I'm saying I'm proud because I'm far from ashamed, I love using pads. There should be no reason to be ashamed yet people say pads are nasty, but Tampons are just as nasty in my opinion. lol
yes but I use cloth. Way less money

i love how they reacted to the second tampon, because that's how all tampons look over here XD
Yes. And now Iam constantly wondering how their tampons look like.
Dani Fu A lot of tampons in the U.S. have applicators that you press down to put it in you, the plastic ones can also be more comfortable to insert. They aren't just the cotton part.
It looks less scary
I use tampons very similar to that. My brand is called OB. I prefer them over applicatiors. Less waste.

I love how the video ended with “women should get credit for not putting blood everywhere every month!” Indeed, and that’s one thing to feel better about when I’m on my period. I know every woman who has periods had blood stain and blood everywhere situation, but I think we women do a great job of cleaning after it. You have no idea how many clothing I saved from almost ending up in trash because of period blood..
I wish this was done by men instead. would have loved to see how they reacted to the outrageous prices and how we get taxed for these things.
Of course they're taxed. Having a period and being able to buy hygiene products is a luxury. (Strong sarcasm here)

That hardly makes sense. Do you also worry about having poop or urine on your hands after washing them? The obvious solution is to wash your hands better.

Interesting idea, but most likely not the best way. People who do this would come off as ridiculous or disgusting, and in a way that is true. Not only that people would be leaving bloody stains where ever they go (which I personally wouldn't mind that much), it's simply unhygienic. Period blood isn't just blood, it carries bacteria and other pathogens that could spread diseases that spread through bodily fluids, and for that I would most certainly mind. I support their intentions; for periods to be normalized and not a taboo subject, but there is a line when it comes to hygiene. Also, some people are just afraid of or revolted by blood in general, not just period blood. I would strive for period products to be made a necessity or at least cheaper, but this...is a bit much. I would understand if you actually didn't have the money, but of you do, you can just buy a reusable pad/tampon/menstrual cup.
@@vickiso9644 it's a joke.
@Nova, I disagree that period products should be free. Things like food aren't free, and everyone, not just women need it. Will food become free now? Plus, nothing is really free. You'd just pay higher taxes.
If it hasn't already been done, you guys should test reusable period products like the diva cup and reusable pads. A lot of people I know are transitioning to those products and are really happy with them!
Menstrual cups are amazing. If someone doesn't use the they're missing out.

Eh, I tried the disposable ones... and I had to call my boyfriend in to help out with it every time. It was comfortable, but within hours I was leaking anyway, not to mention the fact that I don't want my boyfriend to have to feel like an OBGYN every day of my period.
Nickolah Lyn The disposable ones are much different from the reusable ones. I suggest you try one. i have no trouble removing itmyself, and have had no leaks.
Why cant we be like most animals when we get periods, instead of the blood coming out they just absorb it again...

No, the women just don't get caught because like hannah said: we've trained for most of our lives 👍😏👍
Freddie looks so good
I bought a Mooncup about 20 years ago and I've never regretted it. It was expensive at the time but it's saved me SO MUCH money! They're awesome
Americans and their applicators, I'll never understand. It really isn't difficult to insert a tampon. Also, the cotton ones eliminate the risk of TSS, so I'd use those, except I don't think I've ever seen 100% cotton ones where I live.
meikusje I'd be more worried using an applicator because I would just shove it in rather than feeling where it's going. Plus the guilt over all that plastic waste.
abcdef53015 yeah, that exactly. So much less control. I just shove it a finger length in, and know it's right where it's needed
USA is all about the Tampax ;).
meikusje yeah
Cotton has nothing to do with Toxic Shock Syndrome. It's the bacteria from the old blood sitting inside of you for too long.
They get free tampons at work????
Apparently. And already abuse the system, making it harder for other women to potentially get them at work.
amyapplejuice So do I. I thought that was a thing
At my school, they have free pads/tampons in the bathrooms, but the female teachers supply it so it's kinda free but not so maybe like they all pitch in to provide them or they have a sponsor from a company.
I wanted to cry when they said they just snag them from the bathroom and take a handful for themselves...!
I wanted to bring up the "maybe provide tampons for the females in their bathroom?" discussion pretty often. Mainly in our favourite local pub. And the only argument they have against it is "No, we cant, people will steal them and they are to expensive". And im always like "Naah, people wont steal them, they will be happy they have free tampons on the toilet!".
And now i'm sitting here, depressed that even women who are for free tampons everywhere apparently steal them. Thus preventing us women here to get free tampons at bathrooms... Its a shame they really are so selfish. :(
Drakenfolk They should just get a vending machine and charge 1 or 2 ct, that way they are basically free and stealing won't be as common I think..
We shouldn't have to pay for things that we can't control
Then we shouldn't have to pay for toilet paper, food, water, houses, I could go on and on...
yes you should pay for it.
Leah Perkins I mean people who don't have periods don't pay for it either right?
Saptz we didn't all chose to be discriminated and have to suffer the pain of your uterus squeezing blood out of your vagina! Why should we pay for the essential objects when the world would go to shit of girls decided to just pick up and leave!!!
Leah Perkins Yeah, I get what your saying but we atleadt shouldn't be paying €10 that could last you 1 period. The prices should definitely be cut. And period products should be considered a nessecity.
Wow, the price differences between the US and UK is crazy!!
